Magnetic OU principle, You should really take a look at this !

Yucca looking at your design it would fight against itself...

If the influence is perpendicular and the push always seems to be up the magnets would follow the arcs..

So maybe an arc with a straight line might prove useful but only on 1 side...

I dunno maybe a pendulum may be the way to go as there is less friction with that then in a wheel after all we are in this to generate electricity not torque per say 1 unit over what is put into operation would be ideal...

I dunno though yucca what are your thoughts I would love to know them .

I wish there were a simple way to test this but I think your new unit may just remain stationary yucca.

But by all means if you have the means to test it please do hammer er out.

Hi Yucca,

Remember that the magnets need to be connected by steal (like a horse shoe..on the outer sides of the magnets).. I don't see this in your designs.

any suggestions for where i get the steel strips?  Somewhere not on the net...im a cash only man.

some DIY ideas?

You should be able to find something at home depot or other DIY stores, sometimes you get flat steel brackets or connectors plates for joining wood with screws etc, the connector plates come in L and T shapes their for making frames up without the need for wood joints. A good tip is to take a magnet to the store with you to check that they are attracted. If you have the patience then you can use tin snips or strong scissors and cut up food tins (check with mag), then get the strips real flat and laminate them together and bind with electrical insulation tape, mind your fingers!

edit: you can also go to scrapyards or public refuse sites, mild steel is in loads of things that get thrown out like chassis of domestic electrical items etc.

hi Jason,

It is not needed but it does make the effect stronger because the flux accross the mags gets increased. I´ve tried without horseshoe arrangement and it does work. But I agree the design should be modified to make proper horseshoe mags by putting nice steel Us around the magsets.

hi infringer,

I think the system would always try to enlarge the gap between the rotor and stator steels, thus it would always turn anticlockwise because that´s the way it must turn for the gaps to widen. note the large steels are fixed to the baseboard by brackets, the small steels are fixed to the wheel.

I will finish build ASAP, I have family visiting so alot of my spare time is used up right now. I found a nice piece of good mild steel strip out of a junked halogen wall light, more than enough for one rotor and one stator, i have the wheel with bearing finished, i now just need to make wooden brackets and supports up and then glue it all together. Whatever the result i will video and post to youtube.
